Welcome to the restyled Lincolnshire Bat Group Website.

Whether you are here because you are:

  • a member of the public who has found a grounded bat and needs to know what to do with it,
  • already a member looking for survey information, events to help with or old meeting minutes,
  • a prospective new member hoping to find out what we do, when and where, and how to join us,
  • someone who wants to find out more about the bat flying around their garden at night or to make their garden more bat-friendly.

We hope we will have the information you are looking for.
